It makes me feel like Star Trek! :0

Also Dungeon of the Endless, which is a dungeon crawling tower defense rogue like.

It's a neat game. I played it for something like 40 or 50 hours, I was pretty bad at it.

Have you tried out the game that just copy pastes FTL and adds some extra stuff like magic/psychics, and specializes a bit more on boarding ships?

Spaceship rogue like. Youre a spy for a galactic empire, and youre trying to get some crucial intel from one side of the galaxy to the other, and youre being chased by the rebel forces across each sector. Every time you jump to a new Star you dont know what will happen. You might find a store, a sun experiencing solar flares, a rogue AI drone, a slaver ship, a rebel fighter, anything could happen. You have a ship with multiple systems, pilot seat, engines, weapons, shields, etc. and you need to pick up crew members to man each system for maximum efficiency. Im not doing it justice, its a very difficult game and very fun. Its balanced for a low win rate, but its the kind of game where when you lose you just want to start up a new run immediately.

Also the music is catchy as fuck

Would recommend. I have 100 hours in it but stopped playing after I beat it on the hardest difficulty with most of the ships.

I managed to get all three Lanius achievements in a single run. I was just going for the oxygen is never above 20% one. But the seed was just dog shit and stores literally never had weapons. Just drones and ship systems. So I accidentally got the other 2 achievements in the same run. Boss kicked my shit in because I literally never got a single weapon the entire run.

Lanius-B run went perfectly. I got two Mantis crew mates very quickly, and the ship starts with a cloning bay and teleport pad. So boarding parties all damn day. On top of that I got two Flak Cannons and two really good laser weapons. Boss didnt stand a chance. Easiest run so far.

Boarding with Mantis just feels so damned metal. Missiles? Shields? Fancy lasers and drones? Screw that noise, we're beaming over and murdering them with our horrifying scythe-arms.

Got the Engi-B and started a run. I kept getting crew mates offered as payment to stop fighting. So I ended up with a full crew, so I sold all the drones and got three laser weapons so this weird challenge run just turned into a standard run lol

I beat the game once using only fire beams. Bringing a system from full to red causes 1 damage. So I just kept burning the Flagship's systems and waiting for the AI to restore them back to full power and then burned them again. Won the fight without technically ever doing any hull damage.

Yeah I want to try to get a fire beam and an anti-biome beam and play that way.

Also has anyone played the Multiverse mod? Is it worth playing?
